The first official trailer from the highly anticipated reboot of the 80’s classic hit the net this morning and by afternoon had racked up over 1.4 million views. This time around, Ghostbusters stars Kristin Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. It’s directed and co-written by Paul Feig, of Bridesmaids fame.

“These are four of the funniest people on the planet right now, and they are going to make you laugh whether you admit that they do or not,” Feig told the website BuzzFeed.

The trailer opens with an homage to the New York Public library opening scene in the original, showing a terrifying apparition vomiting green slime all over Wiig’s character, 'Dr. Erin Gilbert.'

“I didn’t like the idea of (the new Ghostbusters) being handed technology — ‘Here’s how to do this.’ I want to see it developed,” said Feig said. “We give them their own original origin story and play with that.”

Ghostbusters hits theaters July 15th.
